Iris woke up to sunlight. Ajax's immense body was still boiling hot, but his breathing wasn't as labored, and he wasn't shaking as much. As she stared up into the translucent green leaves, shining like emeralds with the morning sun, a flock of birds scattered across the sky above. She rubbed her eyes and stretched.
"Ajax? You doing okay?" she called up to him. He didn't answer, still unconscious. Iris stroked his beard with her fingers lovingly as despair crept into her chest. She was doing the best she could, but she couldn't save him on her own.
As if summoned by her thoughts, the trees shook and the ground rumbled with the arrival of giant footsteps. Iris bristled with terror. Ajax might be nice to her, but she knew any other giants would snatch her up and devour her without a second thought. She didn't have time to run away: They would find her and catch her.
She needed to hide. Without time to think, she scurried across Ajax's pectoral and dove into his vest pocket. She huddled into an inconspicuous ball inside, trying to control her trembling. Ajax's mammoth heart throbbed in her ears, lifting her up lightly with every beat. She squeezed her eyes shut and clenched her hands into tight fists.
"Ajax!" a rich feminine voice boomed. Iris gritted her teeth to repress a cry of fright. A giantess. "Ajax, are you alright?" Iris couldn't see outside the pocket, but she could sense a massive presence looming over her. The giantess nudged Ajax's shoulder to rouse him, jostling Iris in his pocket. She landed in an uncomfortable position, her arm folded beneath her, but didn't dare to readjust.
"He's badly injured," a stentorian male voice resounded. "We need to take him home." Two giants. Oh no. Iris began to sweat. Her heart was pounding. She was certain they would be able to smell her, but they were too distracted by the giant's deteriorating condition to notice an insignificant bug like her—for now. The two giant people, who were Ajax's mother and father, lifted his limp body up with some difficulty and began to haul him home.
Iris felt the world shift around her as she was raised into the air. She bobbed up and down with the cadence of their strides. Cautiously, so as not to be discovered, she peeked out of the pocket to survey the area. She ducked her head back in when she saw a giant's rotund, ruddy face towering above her. He didn't notice her, but her heart sank down to her feet with dread as she realized she was doomed. A horrific fate awaited her. There was no way for her to sneak out and escape unobserved. Once they carried Ajax home, they would detect her scent, find her, and eat her. She was done for.
She curled up in the pocket, with nothing to do but contemplate her inevitable death. Despite her current situation, she didn't regret her decision to stay. She had nothing to go back to. She would stay by her giant lover's side until the end. Silent tears streamed down her cheeks. She was tired of striving and struggling for nothing. The giant's tenderness for her was the only thing she truly valued. At least he would finally get the medical care he needed, from giants better equipped to treat his wounds. He would make it, even if she did not.
Ajax's parents made it to the house and laid their son in bed. His mother prepared some cold water and rags to temper his fever. She cleaned his eye while his father gathered bandages and cream for his remaining punctures.
"Are we going to talk about this?" the giantess asked her husband, gesturing to the inadequate attempts by the princess to bandage and treat his arms and legs. "Somebody was here before us."
She raised up her hand, pinching the tiny wet cloak between her fingers. "And this was left on his forehead."
The giant man focused on the cloak. He sniffed the air, his eyes widening with recognition. The giantess, too, perceived the distinctive scent. Ajax's father leaned over the injured giant, searching with his nose. With the precision of an experienced hunter, he snaked his hand into Ajax's vest pocket and grabbed Iris, pulling her into the light. She squealed as he lifted her up and dangled her in front of his face.
